Teachers and School District Reach Agreement

The Pajaro Valley Federation of Teachers (PVFT) and the Pajaro Valley Unified School District (PVUSD) signed an agreement today to provide some urgently needed cost savings to the district. After 14 months of negotiations the teachers and other professional staff and the district management have agreed to schedule 10 furlough days with a corresponding reduction in pay. Five days will be scheduled in the 2010-2011 school year and another 5 days will be taken in 2011-2012. These savings will result in fewer layoffs and will help to preserve the quality of education for the students of the district.
